Metadata: 2019-2022, Partrac, East Pickard Bay, Wave and Current Measurement
Abstract:
Marine Energy Wales commissioned Partrac Ltd. to undertake an oceanographic measurement campaign and thereby collect wave and current data at two locations along the coast of Pembrokeshire, UK. These measurements aim to provide key information for the development, use and operation of the Marine Energy Test Area. A TRIAXYS Directional Wave and Currents Buoy was deployed at a site in East Pickard Bay on the 27th February 2019. This report presents data recorded on the wave buoy memory card for the period between 27th February 2019 and 4th March 2020. Data recovery of 91.2 % was obtained for the waves data and 95.9 % was obtained for the current data. These data were collected from a Seabed Survey License. A Seabed Survey Licence enables applicants to undertake a range of small scale, temporary activities offshore, which physically interact with the seabed. As they are smaller individual surveys, not all of the deliverables comply with the MEDIN Guidelines required for other data on the Marine Data Exchange. If you have any queries regarding the contents of this series, please do get in touch with us at mde@thecrownestate.co.uk.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19436 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2019-2022, Partrac, East Pickard Bay, Wave and Current Measurement |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Wave and Current Measurement |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | deb48664-21f6-4d73-973d-b3b1c9a8fa1f |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-4027 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-02-27 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2022-02-28 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Wave measurements are being recorded using two systems: A Datawell Mk III wave buoy deployed at the Dale Roads site, measuring waves only and a TriAXYS waves with current buoy deployed at East Pickard Bay, measuring waves and current profile (surface to seabed at approximately 30 m). Data is being recorded on the instruments internal memory as follows: Datawell MkIII wave buoy: waves รข?? 30 min interval. TriAXYS Directional wave buoy: waves; and current speed and direction at 30 min intervals. The data is transmitting via satellite and displayed every 30 minutes in near real-time on a web portal: Total sea: Significant wave height, maximum wave height, peak wave period, mean zerocrossing period and mean wave direction. Sea: significant wave height, mean wave period, mean wave direction. Swell: significant wave height, mean wave period, mean wave direction. Currents: speed and direction at specified depths (East Pickard Bay). |
